[Prognostic factors after keratoplasty for herpetic keratitis (author's transl)]

Visual acuity was assessed after keratoplasty in 109 patients with various types of herpetic keratitis at different stages of the disease. Functional results appear to be independent of the age of the patient and the duration of the disease. On the contrary, they are related to the type of herpetic keratopathy present, and the surgical technique employed, whether lamellar or penetrating.
